Story Board for Music Video

 When making this story board I thought it was going to be hard to figure out what to write about. I didn't think I could fill all 12 boxes. I thought a lot to come up with ideas. Maybe I could film in New York. But if I were to film in New York I wouldn't have time to edit enough. So I knew I had to come up with something. I knew the materials that I wanted to use so this helped a lot when coming up with ideas. One scene that I knew I had to film for this song was the high angle shot. It could have ended up better though. Since the angle of the fan blade is not straight the filming came out crooked. So I thought I could either try and edit this which might not work out. Or I could come up with a different way to film. I tried to take the phone to my ceiling but it would not stay and things were in the way. Then I thought about contradicting the angle of the fan blade. I put a Chapstick in between the my phone and the blade so it was at a little better angle. All I had to do now was move around a little on the bed so I was centered. After a while I got the angle right. Another problem that happened was because I was filming alone. It was hard to be able to stand the camera up to get me in the shot as well. It took a while but finally I was able to finish it up.

Genre Choice for Film

Image
  After going through our pitches and thinking what the best genre would be, my partner and I have decided to go with the Drama option. The pitch for our short film best fits under the drama genre.  Due to our short film being about an abusive relationship, the acting will have to be very emotional and realistic which falls under drama.  We have started planning out how we are going to go through with the filming. There are a number of camera angles and movements that can be used for this genre that can help make our film more intriguing to the audience.  We can use pan movement as I am yelling and hitting to help show the setting as a whole.  Another example is, we can use high and low angles to show the gender power struggle in the short film.  On another topic, drama films don't include 0 much costumes, props, or makeup which makes it easier for my partner and I.  This allows us to focus more on camera techniques and acting.  We will still use ...
